Chapter 193: The Fire Kirin's power reappears, and a sudden disturbance arises in Zhenbei City

When Li Guanyi's name appeared, Yue Qianfeng and Yan Xuanji's expressions changed slightly.

The messenger picked up the letter and held it with both hands. Yue Qianfeng did not approach rashly. He stretched out his palms, clenched them slightly, and with the internal energy surging, the letter flew out and landed in his hands. After making sure that there was no poison on it, he opened it.

The frown relaxed slightly.

It was Li Guanyi's handwriting, and on the letter was also traces of Yue Qianfeng's half of the tiger talisman that remained in Li Guanyi's hand. After Yue Qianfeng finished reading the letter, he handed it to Yan Xuanji. Yan Xuanji glanced at it with his tiger eyes, and the expression on his face relaxed only then.

"The lord is still alive."

Yue Qianfeng laughed: "That's right."

"I just don't know why he became the so-called master of Changfeng Tower."

He took out his own tiger talisman and imprinted it on the letter, making it a perfect match with Li Guanyi's original tiger talisman, perfect yin and yang. Then he handed the letter to the messenger, who breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, turned around and left quickly.

Although he is only at the beginning of the third level, his lightness skills do have many things to admire.

Yue Qianfeng was wearing heavy armor at the moment, and he was not sitting on a warhorse, but a shaking green-eyed lion beast. It was also very tall, with a head more than ten feet high and murderous intent. Yue Qianfeng hung the black weapon in his hand on the hook of the beast armor and said, "I need to tell you about this."

He told Li Guanyi the strategy mentioned in the letter.

This place is five hundred miles away from Zhenbei City.

The speed of armored heavy cavalry would normally be slower than that of light cavalry, but this unit is one of the strongest armored cavalry in the world and is one of the world's front-line troops. All its members are warriors of the second level of heaven, and they can cover a distance of 500 miles in one day.

However, in Zhenbei City, there are more than three sixth-level guards.

Among them is the famous general ranked 41st on the Godly Generals List, although he is not as good as Yue Qianfeng.

But he has 30,000 frontline combat troops and the terrifying Mohist organization under his command.

It was a tough nut that even the world's number one general avoided. Although Yue Shuai was able to maintain his life, he remained in a deep sleep for more than ten days. Only his breath was flowing and he had the instinct to eat, so he could remain immortal.

Under such circumstances, neither Yue Qianfeng nor the other generals were willing to fight.

If we fight to the death with those 30,000 soldiers, even if we can break out, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

These are the men who are willing to fight with them to the death in various countries, but Yue Qianfeng is unwilling to do so.

Li Guanyi's strategy was to mobilize the internal forces of Zhenbei City to crush the Yuwen family and create enough time for Yue's army. A strong city like Zhenbei City would give top priority to internal problems.

This offensive corps of Yue Family Army can directly break through the sphere of influence of Zhenbei City.

A cavalry general in his thirties said:
"It's a good plan, but is it really credible..."

Yue Qianfeng said: "Pingyang, don't worry."

He paused and did not say that Li Guanyi was the son of Duke Taiping.

For these unruly elite warriors who have experienced many battles, this will only have a counterproductive effect.

Yue Qianfeng said: "That is the greatest hero who killed the treacherous prime minister and rescued General Yue."

So the young cavalry general became solemn. His name was Ling Pingyang, he was thirty-three years old this year, and he was at the fifth level of the realm. However, he was particularly good at commanding cavalry charges. Although his realm was slightly lower, he was already on the list of divine generals, ranked ninety-seventh, barely enough to make it.

The top thirty on the God Generals List, or those like Yue Qianfeng, are basically above the seventh level.

But what’s outrageous about the God General List is that the last one is also in the Sixth Heaven.

The real gap lies in command, battle formation, strategy and tactics.

People like Ling Pingyang and Lu Youxian, although not good at individual combat, are able to display abilities that surpass those of grandmaster-level generals on special battlefields. Their ranking on the list of generals will even exceed those generals with stronger personal bravery.

For a famous general in the military, the combat effectiveness is at two different levels when he has an army and when he doesn’t.

The corps under his command may be the core corps, the second-line corps, or the third-line corps defending the city.

The means that can be unleashed also make the difference between heaven and earth.

Ling Pingyang is the strongest cavalry general among the younger generation of Yue Family Army. In the future, when he reaches his forties or even fifties, for a famous general with profound skills, that is the culmination of personal martial arts, strategy, and experience. He should be able to enter the top 60 of the famous generals list.

The State of Chen and the State of Ying were both large countries with territories of tens of thousands of miles.

The steppe Turks had vast territory and a sparse population. In terms of area, they were even larger than the Chen and Ying states.

There is also the vast Western Regions, which, although small in area, is where warlords fight each other.

Any country has hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers. If it can have a general in the top 100 of the list, it is basically enough to be proud of it. In the battle, it can easily defeat the enemy led by ordinary generals who are several times larger than itself.

Although Ling Pingyang had not met him yet, he already had a very high impression of the young man. Holding his lance, he laughed and said, "He is a young hero. What a pity that I can't meet him!"

"If it's him, I'll believe it!"

"He sacrificed himself to save others, killed the treacherous prime minister, and defeated Guan Yi. I recognize such a hero."

The other young cavalry commanders also believed in this man's strategy.

Yan Xuanji lowered his eyes slightly. Short black stubble had already grown on his head. Hearing the praises of the young cavalry captains around him, he thought that his lord was also slowly, step by step, forging his own path.

Yue Qianfeng said: "Okay, then, we will go in slowly."

He swept his fierce eyes over the surrounding officers and said, "Move forward at one-third of our original speed. This will give the Zhenbei City generals the illusion that we are resting and it will take five days to get through. Once Li Guanyi's intelligence arrives, do not hesitate, speed up, and charge straight through!"

"Catch him off guard!"

The reason why he was ranked 34th on the list of famous generals in the world was not just because of his rough and brave martial arts.

The eight thousand cavalrymen all responded solemnly:
"Yes!"

Yue Qianfeng touched the head of the blue-eyed lion under his seat with his hand. Yan Xuanji was riding an especially majestic warhorse with large scales on its back. When it ran, its feet would step out flames. Its eyes had vertical pupils and a mouthful of sharp teeth, and it only ate meat.

Yue Qianfeng looked into the distance:

"The rations we brought with us can only sustain us for a few days."

"Brother, this time, it's up to you."

All the famous generals in the world knew that the speed of Yue's army suddenly slowed down after approaching the Zhenbei City area. They all speculated that either Yue Pengwu's injuries had worsened, or this isolated army was finally tired after charging for such a long time and began to rest.

Yue Qianfeng also ordered his cavalry to go to various places to buy food and medicinal materials.

When going hunting in the mountains, the number of military stoves gradually decreased.

Therefore, various illusions such as [rations are running low], [Yue Pengwu's injuries are getting worse], and [his fighting spirit is crushed] were given.

Waiting for the battle with Zhenbei Xiongcheng.

The great situation in the world was in turmoil, and once again gathered in Zhenbei City. No one knew that beneath these turbulent waves, the one playing against the famous general Yuwen Lie was just a teenager.

In the past few days, Li Guanyi just wrote letters to his aunt to inform her of the current situation. Yaoguang didn't know what he did, but the white bird was able to find his aunt's location.

After more than a month of escape and practice, he was feeling relaxed and at ease.

The third acupoint is the breakthrough of the oral acupoint.

The speed of internal qi circulation increases.

The advantage is that the ability to eat elixirs and food is improved, and one has successfully reached the stage where a warrior can survive by eating tree bark. As a warrior, the endurance combat capability is further improved. Warriors at this stage can even digest things like Guanyin soil that can choke a person to death.

The downside is that your appetite increases again.

This made the already poor family situation even worse.

[Liufeng Huixue Tower] was acquired, and there are many places where money is needed. The income of [Changfeng Tower] was used up in one go. After that day, Li Guanyi just saw the expenses of [Changfeng Tower] as an intelligence organization, and he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and a pain in his heart.

A super large intelligence organization sounds extremely cool and mysterious.

But in reality, money is being burned every day.

[Make friends with nobles][Collect talents][Cultivate beauties][Get information]

And [adopt the people rescued by Li Guanyi].

If it weren't for the capital of Chen State, the nobles would have lived a life of luxury and debauchery.

[Changfeng Tower] You may have to pay money to enter.

Only in this way can such a huge machine be maintained.

Li Guan started to eat the steamed bun.

Yaoguang's hair swayed slightly. Although there was no expression on her face, there was a sense of inexplicable pride.

Qilin was angry and started to leave the city every day to hunt alone.

Then bring back some prey.

So Li Guanyi had meat to eat.

Li Guanyi asked the Xue family to take down the plaque of "Liufeng Huixue Tower" and personally inscribed the name of "Changfeng Tower". Relying on the reputation of the Zhenbeicheng branch of "The First Building in Jiangnan", he attracted quite a few people.

But distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

Under the urging of Xuangui, Li Guanyi went to the Ghost Market again to complete the assassination bounty he had offered.

This time, it was still [Bu Ye Hou] who personally received the world's tenth-ranked assassin. The innocent and beautiful Buye Hou smiled and said, "Mr. Jing Ke, your methods are indeed powerful. You killed Zhao Huarui so easily in public, and you have lived up to your title of the tenth-ranked assassin in the world."

Li Guan remained silent, and nodded indifferently as a killer should have.

Buyehou saw that Li Guanyi seemed unwilling to say more. Many assassins had such personalities. He just smiled and said, "Then please follow me. There are no top treasures in the [Xuan-level Secret Treasure], but there are also many small gadgets that can be played with."

The image of the black tortoise has floated out and is lying on Li Guanyi's shoulder.

Full of expectations.

Li Guanyi was considering whether to exchange the things for gold. Just as he was struggling, he was guided to the Xuan-level treasure house. The Marquis of Buye stayed outside and only allowed Li Guanyi to go in person. The young man nodded and walked in.

Marquis Buye said that the [Xuan Level Treasure House] does not have many secret treasures, but that was just a humble statement.

This place is very large. Li Guan glanced around and saw many valuable things.

It only took him a split second to see a halberd.

It is two meters long and is heavier than the Frost Halberd. Although it has lost the cold properties of the Frost Halberd, it is heavier. The opening of the blade is eerie, like snow and moon.

Li Guanyi walked over, reached out his hand and gently stroked the halberd. He took a look and said, "The Black Iron Halberd is a top-level weapon, made of black iron. It is incredibly heavy and can only be used with great courage. It is hard and is worth 1,300 taels of gold."

Li Guanyi held the weapon and shook it, and the halberd whistled.

This weapon is sharp enough to be used in the third heaven. Li Guanyi cannot use the Tiger Roaring Halberd all the time. He really wants to have a halberd with him. When he fought with a sword during this period of time, he just felt uncomfortable.

The blade is too narrow and not heavy enough.

The killing range is not long enough.

Heavy long-handled weapons like the halberd, which have a large attack range and can be used as a stick or a gun, can be used to stab, chop, cut, whip, and point, and can also lock other weapons, are Li Guanyi's favorite now.

He wanted to take the halberd away.

But he still held back and put down his weapon. Among the young generation nowadays, those who use war halberds are quite good at martial arts with great force and power.

Just him.

Furthermore, the halberd itself is a forbidden weapon among various nations.

It's too conspicuous to walk on the street with this thing in your hand.

He was simply dancing in front of the famous general of Zhenbei City and 30,000 soldiers.

Li Guanyi glanced at other things. There were top-notch martial arts from various sects, but they were only at the level of Xue family's "Broken Jade Fist". He had no shortage of such martial arts; there were elixirs, and Li Guanyi was full of vitality at the moment, and he also practiced a chapter of "Huangji Jingshi Shu" on recuperation.

And the rest are things like [Qinghuo Powder] and [Corpse-Dissolving Powder].

The young man looked at it and put it down.

I made an evaluation in my mind.

Not as good as Hou Zhongyu's.

Hou Zhongyu didn't think much of those medicinal powders before, but when compared with the things in the mysterious treasure house of the ghost market, there is only one word left -

【pure】!
The purity is so high that it can make the warlock who mixes these powders hit his head against his head and die.

However, the school of sorcerers that specialized in the [elixir of life] and did not use human blood, was probably one of the top [famous and upright schools] even among all the sorcerers in the world.

Could it be that I have killed the successor of the world's top sorcerer school?
Li Guanyi realized it later.

As he traveled around the world and saw the Yin-Yang Rotating Sect, which used young boys and girls to make elixirs and used women's pure yin blood to make elixirs, he suddenly thought of Hou Zhongyu, who had been sitting in the Chen Palace for decades, earnestly studying the blood of exotic beasts and mountain marrow in pursuit of immortality.

It doesn't seem to be very simple.

His master could sit and discuss philosophy with the man in green robe.

The teacher spent a decade smoothing out the crazy and extreme aspects of the Green Robe Master's martial arts, turning them into a moderate and peaceful state.

He himself figured out a way to transform the Fire Kirin into the Auspicious Kirin.

Is Hou Zhongyu considered a top boss in the warlock circle?
Li Guanyi was lost in thought, while the black turtle over there could no longer bear it and pulled him forward. Li Guanyi's eyes swept across one thing after another, and here they were some gorgeous jewelry. The black turtle's image stopped in front of something, and Li Guanyi looked over.

That's an egg.

It was very large, about the size of an average person's head, and all life inside had been cut off.

"The beast eggs in the Divine Beast Villa, the egg-to-foetus technique, it's just a pity that the vitality is hidden, it is still possible to hatch a beast, two thousand two hundred taels of gold."

The black turtle stared at the egg greedily, then turned around and waved its claws at Li Guanyi.

Li Guanyi understood the meaning of the Black Turtle Dharma Image.

"You mean, this thing can make up for Qilin's losses a lot?"

"Shorten the recovery time after each attack?"

The black tortoise nodded vigorously.

Li Guanyi was delighted and touched the back of the black turtle with his fingers to show encouragement. Qilin was Li Guanyi's trump card at the moment. After Qilin became an adult, it had the means of a seventh-level master. Even now, it should have the means of a sixth-level master, but it could fly.

But after being tortured for ten years, his foundation has been severely damaged.

It takes a long time to rest after each attack.

So Hou Zhongyu is still dead.

Li Guanyi thought about it and picked up the things. Buyehou smiled and nodded. He did not ask what he wanted to do. He just said gently: "In addition, Mr. Jing Ke, I have some bounties for assassination in Zhenbei City. If you are interested, you can take a look."

Li Guanyi took a look and found that some people were trying to assassinate famous generals, and some were trying to assassinate the city lord.

There were also attempts to assassinate Yu Wenhua.

Of course, there were also many people who tried to assassinate the halberd madman Li Guanyi.

He had no interest in taking it for the time being, and the Marquis of Buye did not force him. He just sent it out with a smile. Li Guanyi found a hidden place, and the black turtle followed him. He changed back into a Taoist robe and sword, then quickly went back with a bag containing an exotic beast egg.

Qilin had just returned from hunting and was enjoying Yaoguang's head scratching with great pride.

Then I saw Li Guanyi coming back.

Seeing the exotic beast egg in the young man's hand, Qilin's eyes lit up. He rolled over and got up, then suddenly leaped up, spread his limbs and lay on Li Guanyi's face. The young Taoist was knocked to the ground backwards.

The Qilin licked the boy's cheeks wildly.

Li Guanyi struggled to lift Qilin up and said unhappily:

"Okay, it's all saliva!"

Kirin: “Meow!!!”

"Meow meow meow~!"

Li Guanyi looked terrified and gently kicked the guy away. Qilin was very proud. In just a moment, the flames dispersed and it turned into its original appearance, with scales, mane, dragon horns, and sharp claws. Its hair was slightly raised, red flames rose, its pupils were golden, and its right claw gently pressed on the strange beast egg.

Then with just a flick, the monster egg rolled up and flew up.

Li Guanyi thought Qilin would swallow it in one gulp.

Unexpectedly, the Qilin opened its mouth and spewed out a breath of Qilin fire.

The Qilin fire held up the beast egg, rotating it 360 degrees to bake it. Soon, a fragrance emanated from it. The Qilin glanced at Li Guanyi, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said disdainfully, "I am a Qilin!"

"I want cooked food!"

He changed back to his original size and said that he could enjoy it this way. Then he used his claws to gently crack open the eggshell and slowly tore off a small piece of egg white. He asked Li Guanyi and Yaoguang if they wanted to eat it. After knowing that this was prepared for him, he started to eat it without hesitation.

In just a stick of incense, everything was swept away.

A big egg just went into the shrunken unicorn's belly.

Qilin was lying there with his belly bulging. Li Guan poked his finger into his belly, leaving a mark. He smiled and asked, "How is it? How is the recovery?"

Qilin burped.

A burp is a mouthful of fire, spit out in the air.

Touching his belly, he said, "Perfect!"

"The foundation is still far from complete, but—"

He seemed to be smiling, with red flames swirling between his teeth, and his pupils turning into pure gold. The majestic aura that belonged to the top five of the world's divine beasts slowly emanated from him:

"There's no problem fighting again and then running away with you two!"

As the aura spread, the little Qilin bared his teeth, looking very proud:

"Hunting me? Humph, Grandpa Qilin will burn you all!"

He paused, and as if to emphasize, he stretched out his claws and fiercely slashed through the air: "Burn them all!"

Then he was knocked over by Li Guanyi.

The letter from Mr. Xue arrived soon, along with a seal. Xue Zhaoji went to the City Lord's Mansion in person to deliver the letter. Li Guanyi just waited silently for time, waiting for the long-distance game with Yuwen Lie, and for him and his aunt to leave.

The breakout of Yue's army.

As for the liquidation of the Yuwen family and the crackdown on the Yin-Yang Rotating Sect, all that’s left is to close the net.

But on the third day, someone from the Xue family suddenly found him.

It was Xue Zhaoji's confidant, who looked anxious and said, "It's not good, host!"

"Master Xue went to the City Lord's Mansion and hasn't come out for three days!"

"There's no sign of troop deployment!"

"This this!!!"

Li Guanyi's expression paused slightly, the young man's first layout paused slightly, and then he immediately realized where the problem was. He raised his head and looked at the towering City Lord's Mansion in the night, and said: "The City Lord... has also reached a cooperation with the Yuwen family?"

When thinking of this, what appeared in Li Guanyi's heart was not anger.

It's a calm and helpless feeling that makes you want to laugh.

It feels both absurd and reasonable.

But this is Zhenbei City.

Zhenbei City, the most powerful city in the world, Mohist institutions, 30,000 soldiers, and the front-line troops.

If this army and its equipment were given to the old turtle Lu Youxian, that silent and calm, yet persistent and loyal old turtle would be able to make an army of 200,000 unable to get around him even if they had to knock their teeth out, and would make famous generals whose martial arts were much better than his own die of anger.

However, even in such a majestic city, the city lord actually had connections with the Yuwen family.

He even confiscated the seal and envoy of the Prime Minister of the Xue family.

Such a person would actually have two minds.

Chen Dingye, ah, Chen Dingye.

What a waste!!!

"This city lord is a fence-sitter, a double-crosser, betting on both sides."

Li Guanyi made a judgment, and then comforted Xue Zhaoji's confidant, saying in a gentle tone: "You don't have to worry. Master Xue represents Old Xue, who is in power, and the situation in the world is unclear. The city lord is not going to tear his face off and become an enemy of Old Xue. It's just that Master Xue is trapped at the moment."

The confidant and Xue Zhaoji were as close as father and son, but he still controlled his emotions at this moment and said, "Yes, the seal is also with him. Without the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops, the troops in Zhenbei City will never move, unless someone special asks for it."

Li Guan remained silent for a long time, then said, "I understand. Please be patient."

The young man was persuaded by Li Guanyi to go back and rest.

Li Guanyi was standing in front of the window. He didn't say that Yu Wenhua was there too.

Yu Wenhua is likely to force the city lord to take sides and take ruthless action against Xue Zhaoji.

Looking at the Zhenbei City outside, holding the sword in hand, this majestic city is towering, and the blue steel rock barriers dozens of feet high are like giants overlooking the people in the city. At this moment, the aunt is ready to leave, and the 8,000 cavalry of Yue Family Army are approaching here.

The city lord has already had second thoughts, and the four great masters have arrived in the city.

There are too many heroes in the world, and each has his own pursuits and desires, like a fight between a dragon and a tiger, and nothing will go as smoothly as expected. It is precisely because of this that the world is so turbulent and magnificent.

Pojun, it would be great if you were here.

But when you're not around, I have my own way.

If nothing can be accomplished without you, then it is not worth your loyalty.

No?
Li Guanyi smiled freely, held the sword and made up his mind.

He already has a solution!
